इसे De-spice पढ़िए: सब्ज़ी से सारे मसाले (spice) हटा दीजिए, तो वो इतनी बेस्वाद लगेगी कि उससे नफ़रत हो जाएगी। Despise यानी नफ़रत करना और तुच्छ समझना; abhor और detest इसी group के हैं।

Read it as De-SPICE: take every spice out of a curry and it tastes so bad that you start to hate it. To despise is to dislike strongly and have no respect for something. Abhor and detest belong to the same group.
